Hydraulic Fluid Systems Screw plug immersion and cartridge heaters immersed in hydraulic fluid reservoirs maintain required levels of viscosity and ensure proper fluid delivery.

Load Banks/Dynamic Breaking Systems When engines are switched off power needs to be transferred to an alternate source within milliseconds to dissipate energy. Chromalox manufactures complete load bank systems or screw plugs, tubular, or cartridge heaters as components for instant power dissipation.

Mobile HVAC Ground Support Units Tubular, fin tubular, and fin strip heaters are used to provide heat in HVAC ground service units that furnish pre-conditioned air to the cabin while the aircraft is on the tarmac.

Kapton * Heaters Kapton * flexible heaters are con- structed of an organic polymer with very high dielectric capabilities, making them ideal for extreme temperature environments while providing superior resistance to most solvents, oils, even radiation. They are marked by fast warm-ups and quick response. Heating ele- ments are etched foil with solder terminal, connector, or lead termi- nations.A limitless range of shapes, sizes, and wattages is available.

Flexible Silicone Laminate Heaters Versatile Chromalox silicone lam- inate/flexible elements find use in applications requiring low to medium temperatures. Rugged construction of lightweight material provides chemical and moisture resistance. Wire elements are dur- able and wound precisely within the structure for optimal perfor- mance.A variety of electrical, shape, and contour fittings meet a broad range of specifications.

Cartridge Heaters Cartridge heaters are inserted into drilled holes to heat metal parts or small spaces. Chromalox provides an array of sizes, wattage ratings, voltages, lead, and mounting op- tions. Optional end seals resist contaminants and moisture from entering the heater as operating temperatures increase.

Finned Tubular Heaters Chromalox ® Fintube ® heating ele- ments are designed for optimum heat transfer because the fins greatly increase surface area. They are superior to open-coil elements because the heating coil is com- pletely encased in a metal sheath, minimizing shock hazard and hot spots. They can be bent to provide higher concentrations of installed kilowatts for a given area.
